Thursday Things 08.06.15

Today is my last day of work at General Mills!! It’s so weird I can’t even believe it. I started with General Mills as an intern in college and have been working there full-time for the past 6 years. In those 6 years I have had 4 titles, 9 roles, 10 managers, and 3 bajillion emails. Not to mention a few middle-of-the-night calls, too many meetings before the meetings, and a handful of super stressful situations. But then there were all the people – the amazing, intelligent, hard working, kind, fun people – the best part, by far, of working at General Mills.

I know people change jobs all the time and 6 years isn’t that long so I’m being a little dramatic, but it’s a long time to me. I have learned and developed so much there. I’ll miss it, but I guess we’ll see what is in store for me next!

But wait, IT IS ALSO MY LAST DAY IN MINNEAPOLIS, the city where I have spent the last 4 years absolutely loving my life. I start driving to Denver tomorrow.

What the heck is even happening?!? I’m so excited.

I’m so excited. I’m so….

Still excited. Not scared, a la Jessie Spano.

Excited about the move and about these things!

  • Fruit crisps and crumbles: blueberry almond crisp, peach almond crisp, peach & plum crumble.
  • This diy split wrap skirt is adorable and you don’t even need a sewing machine!
  • The idea of having a cooking club is so fun.
  • The smell of this homemade body wash with honey and coconut oil is probably amazing.
  • These 4 hairstyles are super cute, but I just tried out a couple and definitely need some more practice.

Sooo… the next post I write will be coming to you from Denver!! Eeeeee weird beard!

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
